Updating Your LinkedIn Profile provides instructions for editing your LinkedIn profile summary and sharing updates. It recommends clicking "Edit Profile" and the small plus box to add content that will consistently appear in your summary. Users can also add links or files by filling in required fields like title and description. Alternatively, the document suggests using the "Share an update" option to post temporary links or statuses that will appear on your network's homepage.

Editing your summary
Adding content that will consistently appear on your profile
Begin by clicking “Edit Profile” under your title
Click the small box with a plus in your summary. This
section provides a place for content that will be
relevant for an extended period of time and will appear
every time someone views your profile.

Editing your summary, continued
Add a link or upload a file, depending on the asset you
wish to share. Fill in the required fields, such as Title
and Description. Once completed, click “Done Editing”
under your title to complete the editing process.

Share an update
If you do not want the promoted assets on your
individual profile, utilize the update function that
LinkedIn offers.
“Share an update” allows you to post an update
or status. Here you can share an interesting link or
file with your network. This asset will appear on
their homepage and will eventually filter down,
much like a Facebook status.
